Description

One of the main concerns businesses have when starting to export, or exporting to new markets, can be the risks related to cash flow and getting paid by customers abroad. However, the UK accounts for less than 1% of the global population so you could be missing out on 99% of global consumers.

Trade credit insurance can help you understand the non-payment risks of exporting, offer you peace of mind about getting paid, and, if you aren’t paid, manage your overseas collections, something which can be difficult for a business. But most of all, in can help you to grow with valuable insight into your potential overseas customers and markets which helps to minimise the risk of exporting.
